What agreements are included as part of Exhibit C, 'Other Agreements,' in the Auntie Annes Franchise Disclosure Document?

According to Auntie Annes's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit C, titled 'Other Agreements,' includes several agreements that may be relevant to a franchisee depending on their specific circumstances. These agreements are separate from the standard Franchise Agreement and address specific operational scenarios.

The agreements listed under Exhibit C are the Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement, which ensures that sensitive information shared during the franchise investigation is kept confidential. Additionally, there is a Concession Shop Schedule, a Co-Branded Shop Schedule, a Satellite Retail Unit Addendum, and a Satellite Retail Unit Lease Agreement. These agreements likely pertain to franchisees operating in non-traditional locations such as malls, airports, or co-branded locations.

Finally, Exhibit C also includes a General Release and a POS System Support Services Agreement. The General Release is a standard legal document used to waive certain claims, while the POS System Support Services Agreement likely outlines the terms and conditions for the support of the point-of-sale system used in the Auntie Annes franchise. Prospective franchisees should carefully review each of these agreements to understand their rights and obligations, especially if they plan to operate in a non-traditional location or have specific concerns about confidentiality or system support.
